Strategy Overview

Sporting great Speed and Attack stats along with a formidable offensive movepool, Buneary is a contender to rival some of Little Cup's best Normal-types, such as Meowth and Aipom. Although Meowth does carry Technician and Aipom has a great Attack stat, Buneary can function just as well with moves such as Encore and Switcheroo. Although Buneary has a complete lack of resistances and immunities barring its Ghost-type immunity, it performs well offensively with a powerful STAB Return. While Run Away is useless competitively, Klutz does have its uses with Switcheroo if you are willing to "throw away" Buneary's item slot. It might face competition from its fellow offensive Normal-types, but Buneary is a sure threat to be wary of and a strong team contender.
